Forever and a Day
Chapter Three: Lower Heaven
By Dream's Illusion

"Give it back, Bakura!" The yell rang down empty corridors. A tri-colored blur flashed down the hall after a lilac-tinted white.

"You have to catch me first, pharaoh!" A slender figure darted between people, cackling maniacally.

"How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me pharaoh!" Yami yelled.

"But you always call me a tomb-robber!" Bakura protested.

Yami scowled. "That's no reason to take my ONE EARTHLY POSSESSION! How would it feel if I stole yours?"

Bakura stopped abruptly, thinking it over. Yami crashed into him.

"What the hell, tomb-robber?!" Yami, now pissed, snatched away the pyramid-shaped object, while Bakura was distracted.

"I'm bored." Bakura suddenly turned and, with an indignant flick of his wings, wandered down a hall.

Yami stared after one of his best friends. 'I told him not to eat that piece of cake...' Shaking his head, he headed back to his room.

'Damn, baka tomb-robber, you broke the piece of rope!' Yami, frustrated, searched for something to replace it. He pulled out a silver chain. 'I guess this will do.' He exited back into the hall.

'Now, where to go?' Yami mused. 'Well, the sitting room should be empty by now.'

~Yami's POV~

Staring out the window, I can't help but feel gloomy. How long has it been since the sun shone on this desecrated land? It's always nighttime. Not even the stars grace the darkness. The moon...it never comes out. When will the light come to capture out souls?

My wings stretch out from my shoulder blades. I wrap them around myself, protecting me from the eternal shadows. I trace the black feathers. I brush aside a few on my right, and see the odd, out-of-place feather.

It was white.

I have no clue as to how I received a white feather. Maybe I'm not completely lost. There is still hope, for light is present. The darkness has not conquered me after all.

I fall asleep, underneath the dark sky.

~Normal POV~

"Looking outside again, Yami?" An edgy voice rang out.

"Wha?!" The figure started, forced from his peaceful sleep.

Seto Kaiba rolled his eyes. " The master sent me to look for anyone who stayed up. You know I'm the guard this week."

Yami rubbed his eyes. "And you couldn't wake me up nicely?"

"No."

Yami sighed. "So, what's up?"

"Does anything every change around here Yami?"

"No."

"Then why did you ask me?"

"It's a little thing called conversation, Kaiba. Without it, we'd be sitting here in silence."

"Fine. Just go to your dorm room, or else there'll be hell to pay."

"Aren't we in hell-"

"Don't start, smartass."

Yami chuckled. "Fine, fine. Hey, where's Mokuba?"

Kaiba paused. "He already went to sleep. I swear, he shouldn't have been a demon."

"Why is he?"

"Because even in death, we cannot be separated."

'It's true.' Yami thought. 'Mokuba's one of the nicest people I've met.'

The two came walked up to a door with a rather uninviting symbol of a snarling dragon with glinting red eyes.

"I'm guessing this is your room?" Kaiba asked.

"Yes."

"Looks homey."

"I'll see you tomorrow, Kaiba."

"Night."

"Hello, Grand Master." Yugi bowed before the Head Angel at Shizuka's notice.

"Ah, so you're the new angel." The old man smiled down at him. "We'll have to get you accustomed to our way of life."

"Which is...?" Yugi asked tentatively.

"This place is run like a boarding school. It prevents people from wreaking utter chaos."

"I see." Yugi said warily.

"We will wake you at 8 o'clock sharp. Shizuka, will you show him to his room?" The Grand Master requested.

"Hai." (Hai=yes) Shizuka bowed. "Come with me, Yugi-san."

Yugi followed her down a lighted passageway, the colors pastel-colored and friendly.

"Here, this is you room." Shizuka handed him a key.

The door and key glowed, shifting into another shape.

"Oh, your inner self is a dragon!" Shizuka exclaimed excitedly.

"My inner what?" Yugi asked, confused.

"Inner self. It's the animal that shows who you truly are."

"I'm a dragon?" Yugi said, bewildered.

"Yes, but a gentle white dragon." She smiled.

"Oh. What's your animal?" He questioned.

"I'm a mouse." Shizuka giggled. (Doesn't she seem like it? I think Shizuka means quiet in Japanese, too.)

"Oh...I'll see you tomorrow, right?"

"Sure. I'll introduce you to everyone!"

"That sounds good...bye, Shizuka."

"Bye, Yugi!"
